Bloated LunarVim

Do not use as is, use it as a source of inspiration.

I've customized my ZSH/Tmux/Wezterm too much, so it might not work properly 😅

Theme

Themes are automatically changed based on time of the day:

Theme	Time of the day
rose-pine	[1am, 9am)
tokyonight	[9am, 5pm)
catppuccin	[5pm, 9pm)
kanagawa	[9pm, 11:59pm), [0am, 1am]

You can change this in plugins.lua and theme.lua or just disable it and install your own theme

lvim.colorscheme = "catppuccin"
lvim.builtin.time_based_themes = false
lvim.plugins = {
  {
    "catppuccin/nvim",
    as = "catppuccin",
    config = function()
      require("catppuccin").setup()
    end,
  }
}

• Do not use as is, too much bloated! Also do not use on a potato PC!!
• i have a auto command to disable syntax,etc when you open files larger than 1MB
• if you don't want to use harpoon, disable it
  • lvim.builtin.harpoon = { active = false }
• if you want to try out GitHub copilot, change the following
  • lvim.builtin.sell_your_soul_to_devil = { active = true, prada = false }
  • in case you want to use cmp-copilot, set prada=true after copilot installation
• I use a custom lualine disable it if you don't like it

• if you want to use debugging, change the following line to true, also install codelldb:
  • lvim.builtin.dap.active = true
• sometimes instead of saving you jump trough jumplist 😢 just disable nvim-lastplace
  • lvim.builtin.lastplace = { active = false }
• sometimes compe-tabnine doesn't play nice, you can disable it :)
  • lvim.builtin.tabnine = { active = false }
• if you don't need testing, just disable it (use ultest or neotest)

Install

Prerequisites (🔎 Click to expand/collapse)

Prerequisites

• Neovim >= v0.8.0

  brew install neovim --nightly

• Rust and telescope stuff:
  • ripgrep
  • fd

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf "https://sh.rustup.rs" | sh
cargo install ripgrep fd-find

• NodeJS >= v16.13.0 most language servers need this

brew install node

bash <(curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lunarvim/lunarvim/master/utils/installer/install.sh")
mv ~/.config/lvim ~/.config/lvim_backup
git clone https://github.com/abzcoding/lvim.git ~/.config/lvim
lvim +LvimUpdate +LvimCacheReset +q
lvim # run :Lazy sync

Java

Please run the following to have a better debugging and testing support for java

mkdir -p ~/workspace
git clone git@github.com:microsoft/java-debug.git ~/.config/lvim/.java-debug
cd ~/.config/lvim/.java-debug/
./mvnw clean install
git clone git@github.com:microsoft/vscode-java-test.git ~/.config/lvim/.vscode-java-test
cd ~/.config/lvim/.vscode-java-test
npm install
npm run build-plugin

Recommended Fonts

• FiraCode: My preferred nerd font
• Any of the Nerd Fonts

On macOS with Homebrew, choose one of the Nerd Fonts, for example, here are some popular fonts:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search nerd-font
brew install --cask font-fira-code-nerd-font
brew install --cask font-victor-mono-nerd-font
brew install --cask font-iosevka-nerd-font-mono
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font

Other Stuff (🔎 Click to expand/collapse)

Language-Server Protocol (LSP)

To leverage LSP auto-completions and other functionalities, after you open a file in Neovim, run :MasonInstall <server> to use mason installation feature. Use Tab to list available servers.

Upgrade

cd ~/.config/lvim
git pull
lvim # run :Lazy sync

Recommended Linters

You can use mason to install these:

brew install luarocks
luarocks install luacheck  # if you want to use luacheck
cargo install selene  # if you want to use selene instead of luacheck
brew install hadolint  # if you want to lint dockerfiles
pip install vim-vint  # for vim linting
# install llvm and clang_format for clang stuff
npm install -g @fsouza/prettierd # if you want to use prettierd
pip install yapf flake8 black  # for python stuff
# if you want to use the markdown thingy
brew install vale markdownlint-cli
cp -r ~/.config/lvim/.vale ~/.config/vale
# fix the address inside .vale.ini
cp ~/.config/lvim/vale_config.ini ~/.vale.ini
# if you want the latex stuff
# brew install --cask mactex-no-gui # for mac
# or install zathura and chktex on linux

In case you want a better tex support in mac, check this out

if you want the custom gostructhelper, first get the pkg:

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/vanhtuan0409/gostructhelper.git
cd gostructhelper/cmds/gostructhelper
go build -o /usr/local/bin/gostructhelper && chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/gostructhelper

Collaborative Editing

The default is to serve localhost only, on port 8080. For a more advanced (remote server) overview see Deploy a server

Server side

• :InstantStartServer [host] [port] : Start the server using
  • :InstantStartSingle [host] [port] : This only shares the current buffer.
  • :InstantStartSession [host] [port] :This shares all opened (and newly opened) buffers with the other clients

Client side

• let g:instant_username="sth" : Set your preferred username.
  • :InstantJoinSingle [host] [port] : Use this command if another client already initiated a single share.
  • :InstantJoinSession [host] [port] : Use this command if another client already initiated a session share

Troubleshooting

1. Check your neovim version. Are you on the newest nightly version?
2. Reset your packer cache, and update lvim.
